The cyber threat landscape in sport is shifting faster than ever.

Earlier this year, Premier Sports Network collaborated with Booz Allen Hamilton to host Navigating Cybersecurity Challenges in Elite Sport. Industry experts highlighted how cyber breaches are no longer just IT issues, they have significant operational, reputational, and commercial consequences for sports organisations.

In this video, Brendan Rooney, Global Incident Response Lead at Booz Allen Hamilton, provides an overview of today’s most pressing cyber threats, and what they mean for the leaders responsible for protecting athletes, staff, fans, and infrastructure.

Why it matters for sport

• Cyber-attacks can disrupt stadium operations, ticketing, and broadcast feeds.

• Breaches impact sponsor trust, athlete safety, and fan confidence.

• Leadership decisions in the first hours of a crisis can determine both the financial impact and the organisation’s long-term reputation.
